➵ FIFTY ONE

Gerard tried to say something, but Frank cut him off, knowing that since he started he might as well finish, and said, "What's done is done. We can't do anything about it, and frankly, I don't want to. This is where I'm meant to be, I can feel it. I just... I didn't want to put a burden on you. I still don't, but I couldn't keep a secret from you. Not after the promise we made to each other."

"Oh, Frank... Where have you been staying?"

He chuckled shortly and said, "The balcony we had the picnic on."

"A balcony? A fucking balcony, Frank?" Gerard bursted, his eyes wide.

"Well, I had blankets. I couldn't just – "

Frank looked to Gerard and saw that he was putting it together as well. "Man, this world's fucked up," Gerard told him.

"Yeah... the teachers didn't even say anything. I wonder what would've happened if they knew we were gay," Frank thought a loud.

Gerard considered this, then said, "I don't know. Let's find out."
